РОСКОСМОС. ПЕРВЫЙ ПУСК РН «СОЮЗ-СТ-Б» В 2017 ГОДУ ПРОШЕЛ УСПЕШНО
28.01.2017 04:38

 

   28 января 2017 года со стартовой площадки в Гвианском космическом центре (ГКЦ) в 04:03 мск успешно стартовала ракета-носитель (РН) «Союз-СТ-Б» с космической головной частью в составе разгонного блока «Фрегат-МТ» и европейского телекоммуникационного спутника Hispasat AG-1.

    

   Через 9 минут 22 секунды штатно прошло отделение разгонного блока и космического аппарата от третьей ступени ракеты-носителя. В соответствии с циклограммой полета двигательная установка российского разгонного блока была запущена для формирования целевой орбиты космического аппарата. Через 32 минуты после старта космический аппарат (КА) штатно отделился от разгонного блока «Фрегат-МТ» на геопереходной орбите.

    

   Впервые с космодрома ГКЦ в рамках пусковой кампании ракета-носитель серии «Союз-СТ» вывела спутник массой более 3 тонн на геопереходную орбиту. Также этот пуск стал первым пуском российской ракеты-носителя в программе 2017 года.

    

   Заказчиком пуска космического аппарата Hispasat AG-1 выступает испанская компания HISPASAT. КА Hispasat AG-1 производства компании OHB system GmbH предназначен для предоставления широкого спектра телекоммуникационных услуг (цифровое телевидение, высокоскоростной интернет, мобильная и фиксированная связь) для Европы, Канарских островов и Южной Америки.

    

   ***

   Гвианский космический центр - европейский космодром, расположенный вблизи города Куру во Французской Гвиане (департамент Франции в Южной Америки). Его расположение около экватора обеспечивает 15% преимущество по полезной нагрузке по сравнению с запусками в восточном направлении с американского космодрома на мысе Канаверал и 40% - при запусках с космодрома БАЙКОНУР. С начала 70-х годов прошлого века ГКЦ используется для запусков КА ракетами-носителями семейства «Ариан». Космодром используется в интересах совместных европейских космических программ.

    

   Российско-европейский проект «Союз» в Гвианском космическом центре» начался в 2003 году, когда на правительственном уровне было принято решение о запусках РН «Союз» с европейского космодрома во Французской Гвиане. В рамках принятых решений был подписан целый ряд межправительственных соглашений, которые заложили правовую основу для подписания контрактов на создание наземной инфраструктуры стартового комплекса «Союз», изготовление и отгрузку РН «Союз-СТ» и разгонных блоков «Фрегат» в Гвианский космический центр. В 2005 году началось строительство стартового комплекса для РН «Союз-СТ», в мае 2011 года состоялась официальная церемония передачи стартового комплекса Европейскому космическому агентству и эксплуатанту космодрома – компании «Арианэспас». Первый пуск РН «Союз-СТ» состоялся в октябре 2011 года. Ежегодно осуществляется 2-3 пуска как в интересах Европейского космического агентства, так и в интересах коммерческих компаний.

 Soyuz delivers! Arianespace's first 2017 mission opens a fast-paced year of launch activity

 Arianespace began its busy 2017 launch schedule with a Soyuz mission tonight that marked multiple "firsts" in orbiting the Hispasat 36W-1 telecommunications satellite on a flight from the Spaceport.                        
                            

Departing at the exact planned liftoff moment of 10:03:34 p.m. (local time in French Guiana), Soyuz flew a 32-minute profile to release its satellite passenger into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) – the first mission that Arianespace's medium-lift Soyuz has performed for a GTO deployment while operating from the Spaceport.

Today's success was Soyuz' 16th launch from French Guiana since it began service at the Spaceport in 2011, and was designated Flight VS16 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system. The workhorse Soyuz vehicle previously delivered payloads on Spaceport missions to circular Earth orbits, low-Earth orbits, Sun-Synchronous orbits, and an elliptical orbit for an Earth escape trajectory.

 

Europe's "SmallGEO" makes its debut

Another first on tonight's mission involved the Hispasat 36W-1 satellite itself, which is the initial spacecraft built using Europe's new "SmallGEO" platform.

Developed by Germany's OHB System AG under ESA's ARTES (Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems) program, the SmallGEO platform line offers an entirely European solution in the smaller telecommunications satellite market. It benefits from faster production and testing processes, reduced costs and a broader range of design options.

Once at its orbital position at 36 deg. West, Hispasat 36W-1 will enable Spanish satellite communications operator Hispasat – a leader in the distribution of content in Spanish and Portuguese – to provide a wide range of telecommunications services in Europe, the Canary Islands and South America. Equipped with 20 Ku-band transponders and the additional capacity of three transponders in Ka band, Hispasat 36W-1 features the innovative RedSAT regenerative payload, along with an antenna equipped with a processor that allows onboard beam reconfiguration.

Hispasat 36W-1 had a liftoff mass of 3,210 kg., with Soyuz delivering an overall payload lift performance of 3,319 kg. on tonight's Flight VS16 mission.

 

A milestone mission for Hispasat and OHB System

With Flight VS16, Hispasat 36W-1 was the seventh satellite launched by Arianespace for Hispasat since 1992.

Hispasat 36W-1 was the 15th OHB System-built satellite lofted by Arianespace, with 11 more in Arianespace's order book for future launches.

 

Keeping up the launch pace in 2017

As the first Arianespace mission for 2017, Flight VS16 opens a busy launch manifest that targets up to 12 flights during the year, utilizing the medium-lift Soyuz, heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega. Of this total, six are planned between today and late April, underscoring Arianespace's reactivity in meeting its customers' launch requirements.

The next mission is scheduled for February 14, using an Ariane 5 to orbit two telecommunications satellite passengers. Designated Flight VA235 in Arianespace's numbering system, this launch will carry SKY-Brasil-1 for AT&T (DIRECTV) through its affiliate DIRECTV Latin America, along with Telkom 3S for Indonesia's Telkom.

Successful launch of the Hispasat 36W-1 satellite
 January 28, 2017

Hispasat's new communications satellite, successfully launched by a Soyuz rocket fr om French Guiana, is now orbiting in space.
 
 The H36W-1 includes a pioneering RedSAT regenerative payload, enabling HISPASAT to use satellite power more smoothly and efficiently.
 
 This is the first mission of the new SmallGEO platform, which was developed by OHB System AG (Germany) together with the European Space Agency and HISPASAT.


Madrid, 28 January 2017. At 2:03 AM Spanish time, Hispasat successfully launched its tenth satellite, the Hispasat 36W-1 (H36W-1), fr om the European Spaceport of Kourou in French Guiana, aboard Arianespace's Soyuz launch vehicle.
Approximately 32 minutes after the rocket took off, the H36W-1 satellite separated from the launch vehicle, at which point the solar panels were started up and deployed. From that moment on, manoeuvres began to position the new satellite at the geostationary orbit point wh ere the test phase will be carried out to make sure it is working properly, and which is scheduled to last several weeks.
Carlos Espinós, the satellite operator's CEO, stated that "this new satellite is an important step in Hispasat's innovation strategy. Hispasat 36W-1 is not only the first mission of the new SmallGEO platform, but also incorporates an advanced regenerative payload that will provide the satellite with greater flexibility and signal quality thanks to its reconfigurable antenna and on-board processor, thus improving the telecommunications services it will provide to its clients. We are very satisfied with our collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), which has allowed us to participate in a leading technological project to which they have added significant value with their knowledge and experience in the space sector."
The new satellite will provide coverage for South America and Europe, including the Canary Islands. It has a 15-year lifespan and will offer video contribution and cellular backhaul services, as well as company and broadband solutions. It is fitted with 20 transponders on the Ku band and additional capacity of up to 3 transponders on the Ka band, and has a launch mass of 3,200 kg.
Innovation
 
The H36W-1satellite was built by the German company OHB System AG and is the first mission of the SmallGEO platform, developed by the German manufacturer together with the European Space Agency and HISPASAT. This platform allows for a substantial reduction in satellite mass thanks to the use of electric propulsion throughout the lifespan of the satellite.
In addition, the H36W-1 incorporates RedSAT, an advanced regenerative payload consisting of a novel active antenna with reconfigurable beams that, together with the on-board processor, will improve the efficiency and services offered by the satellite. The antenna can be controlled electronically from the Earth and reoriented at any point during the lifespan of the satellite, granting it the flexibility to adapt its coverage to mission changes that may occur after launch, while still in orbit.
The on-board processor is a further step in the evolution of satellites, which can greatly simplify network architecture by performing in space a part of the processing usually carried out on Earth. It can simultaneously process up to four 36 MHz transponders, correcting possible signal degradations and transmitting them without errors, leading to a more robust and higher quality communications system that enables signal reception with small-diameter antennas.
Investment in the project has amounted to more than 240 million euros, and it has received funding from the CDTI as well as significant involvement from the Spanish industrial sector:
• Airbus Defense and Space Spain: Reconfigurable DRA-ELSA active receiving antenna (RedSAT payload), two reflective, deployable antennas on the Ku band and one fixed antenna on the Ka band. Two deployment systems for the two deployable DAPM (Deployable Antenna Positioning Mechanism) antennas on the Ku band.
• Arquimea: Analogue and digital ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) on the DRA-ELSA antenna.
• Celis: Development of the satellite IOT test bench.
• Crisa (subsidiary of Airbus): PCU (Power Control Unit) or satellite power regulator.
• Expace: NOC (Network Operation Centre) development of the RedSAT regenerative payload Earth system.
• GMV: Satellite control centre and flight dynamics systems.
• Iberespacio: Control units of the electric propulsion subsystem. LHP (Loop Heat Pipe) active cooling system for the DRA-ELSA antenna.
• Indra: Terrestrial segment of satellite control. Gateway of the RedSAT terrestrial segment.
• Tecnobit (Oesía Group): DRA-ELSA antenna control unit: ICU (Integrated Control Unit) and its PSU (Power Supply Unit).
• Thales Alenia Space Spain: Regenerative RedSAT on-board processor and associated terrestrial segment.
• Tryo Aerospace: LNA (Low-Noise Amplifier) and Down Converters (Frequency Converters) on the Ku and Ka frequency bands. Telemetry and telecommand (omni-directional and horn) antennas.
